Hello,
I purchased a GS73VR just 3 days ago.

In those 3 last days, I've been having huge problems with the audio. At first, the audio sounded INSANELY staticy to the point where I couldn't hear anything that wasn't in the lowest volume (Windows Volume set to 1). I was told to update my Realtek Audio drivers, and once I did and restarted my system, the audio sounds really weird, like some sounds aren't registered and the whole thing is really far away. I'd be really really keen on some feedback.

EDIT: I also realized that when I take out my earphones from the audio jack, all the applications halt. YouTube won't play videos for at least 30 seconds, Spotify does the same, and Steam crashes. Any help would be very very appreciated.
